How to Leave or Mute a Group Text

Reduce unwanted group-message notifications or leave when the messaging protocol supports it.

Quick Answer

Open the group conversation details and choose Leave Conversation/Leave group when available, or mute/hide alerts if leaving is not supported.

Step by Step

  1. Use the platform's official app or website and confirm you are signed into the intended account.
  2. Open the group conversation details and choose Leave Conversation/Leave group when available, or mute/hide alerts if leaving is not supported.
  3. Review privacy, audience, recipient, or recovery settings before confirming important changes.
  4. For account-security problems, secure the associated email account and enable two-factor authentication when available.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Social-media menus and features change frequently and can differ by device, account type, region, and app version.
  • Do not send money, passwords, one-time verification codes, or sensitive personal information to an account merely because its name or photo looks familiar.
